Carter is a familiar figure to many who worked on the Man of the Year project. Carter met for lunch with the Nation section in March 1975. Recalls Associate Editor James Atwater, who wrote this week's cover story: "I saw a very agile and retentive mind at work." Nation Editor Marshall Loeb, who edited the story, joined Carter on a campaign swing last January. "He was never glib," says Loeb. "He had a phenomenal grasp of the issues." Reporter-Researchers Eileen Chiu and Anne Hopkins steeped themselves in Carter's background and closely followed his progress through...
...history that seem to be occurring at shorter and shorter intervals. After the banishment of Richard Nixon, the decent, solid and forthright Gerald Ford?to his everlasting credit?did much to restore faith and confidence in Government and to curb inflation.

Those experiences may have given him, as he insists, some feeling for the variety of problems facing the nation. But no President since Calvin Coolidge has entered the White House with a briefer public record. (Eisenhower had never held political office, but he had been a commanding world figure for a decade.) Carter has never served in any capital larger than Atlanta: four years in the Georgia Senate, four...
...first important act after the Inaugural will be to pardon all Viet Nam draft resisters. Then he will turn his attention to the major goals for his Administration, which he discusses in depth with TIME in an exclusive interview (see page 23). An analysis of the nation's problems and Carter's policies...
